[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your premise is wrong! Grandparents today are more able bodied and live longer.[/quote] More able bodied, live longer…..but a lot less less hands on. My grandparents were basically like nannies. Same with all my friends growing up - I knew so many of their grandparents because they were always doing school pickup, giving us rides to sports games at other schools, etc. In white middle class households in the 80s and 90s I felt like our grandparents were often standing in for our working Boomer parents. I had multiple friends being raised by their grandparents. Maybe it’s because I’m UMC today, but it feels like Boomer grandparents are a lot more hands-off and self-focused. [/quote] I could have written same post. Boomer grandparents are just hands off! [/quote] DP here. They are selfish, IMO.[/quote] Can we stop with the age generalizations? It’s exhausting. [/quote]
